Transitions AfterCare Program launched

Experiencing the loss of a loved one brings change into our lives on multiple levels. When we lose someone we love, we often become responsible for things we once were not - finances, home maintenance, and even everyday tasks such as cooking.

It is with these changes in mind that France Family Funerals has partnered with Baptist Community Services to conduct the "Transitions" AfterCare Workshop. These unique 5-week workshops give the surviving spouse, companion, sibling or the child of someone who has passed on the opportunity to come together with others, who have experienced a loss, in a small group setting.

Together, the group acquires information and practical tips on the many “Transitions” they must make as the result of loss. Together with area experts, we cover topics such as emotional well-being, financial decision-making, travelling again, home safety, and yes. . . even tips on cooking for one.

Seating is limited, however, if you or someone you know would be interested in the complimentary Transitions Workshops, please call Mary Bowyer at MayCare Community Centre on 0402 101 777. The Transitions Workshops are initially available in Mayfield with plans to expand to Port Stephens.

Please note: you can pick and choose which workshops to attend, but always phone Mary to RSVP.
